Besidez, it could be that 1 religion has it right.
Unfortunately that can't be proven either. So it would be better to say that no religion is superior to the other.
So now you are comparing a harmless little old lady sitting in a pew thumbing through her rosary beads to Archie Bunker or some Nazi skinhead?
Get a life man. 99.9% of all Christians (I grew up Catholic) don't proselytize to anyone and the only thing that they would do to you is to wish you well and/or pray for you. Heaven forbid!
The really ironic thing here is that you jerks are exhibiting the exact same behavior that you are railing about.
You believe that you know the true path and that the Christians are the misguided fools.
Sound familiar?
Actually, it's ironic christians continually believe they are the victim when they aren't.
If your religion was actually tolerant of other religions, then it wouldn't be an issue.
you can't even see that disagreeing with a philosophy is different than barring others from practicing it or saying it is the only way.
the only reason christians, though it's fake, can pretend they are tolerant or victims of intolerance is because laws are in place so that their is freedom of religion.
if there wasn't those laws or christianity was left to it's own devices, that wouldn't be the case. therefore the indignation is a charade.

B.S.! What Christians are you talking about? I know of no Christians who continually feel victimized.

Give me an example of the intolerance. And don't use examples from 1,000 years ago. Or even 100 years ago. We are talking about now.

Who's barring what???!!! As I said 99.9% of Christians don't give a crap what you believe.

You do not know the first thing about Christianity. So how can you pretend that you know what is fake and what isn't.

Not that long ago Christians didn't believe that black people were actually human.

As long as they can take no for an answer, I don't have anything against that.

You're projecting.

I only know that I've found my path, but do not claim that it should be yours too.

You are arguing with yourself and it has nothing to do with me.

Reason: clarification
Not that long ago Christians didn't believe that black people were actually human.
Not that long ago, people believed a lot of things that are incorrect. The errors of the past are irrelevant unless we keep repeating them. And living in the past is one of those errors. Why don’t we take into account what folks of this religion or that religion believe RIGHT NOW? It doesn’t matter what Gunther or Gertrude or Hulde believed two hundred years ago, or a hundred years ago, or fifty years ago. Who cares? It only matters what you and I do right now.
The errors of the past are irrelevant unless we keep repeating them.
Bigotry abound in modern day Christianity.
Christians believe that homosexuals live in sin so that you either are a Christian or a homosexual, but ya can't be both.
Or that people in Aids ridden countries should refuse to use condoms.
As I said 99.9% of Christians don't give a crap what you believe.
!
If a political candidate announced that he was an atheist, how many Christians do you think would vote for him, compared to the number that would vote for him if he was perceived as a church-going Christian? 99.9%? Don't make me laugh. He'd be lucky to get 20% of the Christian vote, and then only if he was a Republican, from the 20% who equate Democratic with Atheist/Communist/.

Do 'they'? You are generalizing. As is a common problem with many, you look at the world as a herd, not as individuals.
Lenna, If your religion was actually tolerant of other religions, then it wouldn't be an issue. thank you for this thought you are right there. I do have trouble when I hear that someone says my church is right the rest are either a cult or just not right.
tomdot, I think the 99% is a bit high I would hope it is at least as high as 80% but so many people believe like trickyD and jtur88 pointed out if you are a homosexual in many churches you just can't be christian and if you don't believe at all you will not be elected to office.
